Tom Ford Oud Minérale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Oud Minérale opens with Salt, Sea Water, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Canadian Fir Balsam, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, Ambergris, and Styrax. Tom Ford's Oud Minérale carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Tom Ford's Oud Minérale is a deeply divisive scent, splitting opinion between a sophisticated, unique marine experience and something akin to fishy roadkill. You'll either adore its moody, coastal vibe or utterly detest it.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Casual

Given its strong sillage and unique, often polarising scent profile, Oud Minérale is best reserved for occasions where it can make a statement without overwhelming. It's too bold for everyday office wear but shines on a date or formal event, where its refined yet unconventional character can truly impress. Some might wear it casually by the coast, but it's not a 'grab and go' easy reach.

About

Imagine a tempestuous coastline: Oud Minérale opens with a bracing blast of sea salt and mineral, like crashing waves on ancient rocks. This bracing aquatic freshness is soon joined by a subtle, smoky oud, not the barnyard variety, but a polished, almost leathery wood, evoking driftwood washed ashore. Underlying facets of ambergris and aromatic elements add depth and a hint of cool, earthy pine, settling into a complex, raw elegance.
